Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 55 Water Domain
Just as Lu Jin continued his incredible upgrades, Hong and Thor jointly convened a meeting with many councilors of the War God Palace.

The content of this meeting is closely related to Lu Jin, who is working to end the era of monsters.

Shortly after, the meeting ended, and the Ares Palace intelligent system sent a statement email to all Ares Palace members.

—【The principle of the War God Palace: the capable rise, the mediocre fall.】

The number of the five speaker seats remains unchanged, while Atkinson, the former fifth speaker, is removed from the speaker seat.

The original Speakers of the House, namely First Speaker Hony, Second Speaker Thor, Third Speaker Merhandson, and Fourth Speaker East, were all automatically demoted by one place.

The new First Speaker of the War God Palace is Lu Jin from the Yanhuang Kingdom, the greatest hero in human history who ended the monster era.

At this moment, the old king abdicated and the new king ascended the throne.

In fact, this was a helpless move by Hong.

If Lu Jin's strength has surpassed his, then it is only natural that Lu Jin would be one of the five councilors of the War God Palace and become the first councilor.

After all, the reason he was able to become the First Speaker of the War God Palace was because of his strength and power; no other member of parliament in the world was his match.

Rather than being overthrown by Lu Jin to rise to power later, he might as well step down now and give way to a more capable person, so as not to lose face.

Anyway, this is the hero who ended all the king-level monsters and the two great beast kings on Earth, so it is only right for me, Hong, to step down and give way.

As for Lu Jin's strength not surpassing his, or even being inferior to him?

Then he should abdicate even more!

My strength is greater than Lu Jin's, but Lu Jin was able to end the monster era, kill all the king-level monsters in the world in one night, and kill two beast emperors, while I can't. So what am I, Hong Cheng?

In the eyes of the world, wouldn't I become a villain who "raises beasts to enhance his own status"?
Although he used to be an assassin, Hong cherishes his reputation and doesn't want to be misunderstood by the world, even if only a few people think that way.

Therefore, before Lu Jin could even come to challenge him, Hong directly relinquished his position as First Speaker.

And to be honest, Hong also admired Lu Jin from the bottom of his heart, who completely changed the situation that he, Thor, and all the congressmen around the world were powerless to change.

With such outstanding achievements, coupled with the strength to kill two great beast kings, Lu Jin became the first councilor of the War God Palace without any objection.

As for the former Fifth Speaker, Atkin?

Whether anyone else cared about Atkins, Hong didn't know, but he certainly didn't.

Not convinced?

Either keep quiet or beat me.

"Kacha kacha——"

Inside the Peach Garden, Lu Jin, who had already raised his martial artist level to the peak of the ninth planetary rank, was happily munching on a peach.

Once the flesh of the peach enters the stomach, a wondrous power surges forth, causing all the cells in the body to rapidly transform, leaving the whole body feeling warm and cozy, as if soaking in a hot spring.

Unlike the cellular changes that occur when one's strength is enhanced, this is a change at the genetic level.

With the transformation of his cells and genes, and without any change in his level, Lu Jin felt that his physical fitness, genetic energy, and mental power had begun to increase rapidly again.

Furthermore, because the effects of the peach are extremely mild, the entire transformation process seems incredibly harmonious.

After a long while, nine peaches were eaten, and a powerful feeling welled up in Lu Jin's heart.

At the same time, in Lu Jin's perception, the whole world seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

Before Lu Jin could even perceive it, suddenly, a dazzling azure light emanated from his body.

The azure light spread rapidly, instantly enveloping an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius centered on him. At that moment, Lu Jin felt he could exert a powerful control over the space surrounding the blue energy.

"Domain of control?!"

Looking at the strange blue energy emanating from his body, Lu Jin was stunned.

Are these peaches really that good?

He thought that the opportunity to master the domain would have to wait until the Water Kirin's clone was born!
Suddenly, Lu Jin remembered.

In addition to increasing the number of life genes after consumption, the peach also enhances the affinity with the law of water.

The tenfold life gene level is the upper limit of a low-grade peach. So, it seems that after consuming nine peaches and reaching the tenfold life gene level, his talent in cultivating the water law has also reached the upper limit that a low-grade peach can improve—a darling of the water origin law.

Given that his original attribute is water, it's not impossible that he could directly master the water domain by taking advantage of the opportunity of his transformation when his talent for cultivating laws is elevated to the level of a favored child of the original laws.

What Lu Jin didn't know was that the emergence of the Water Domain, although related to his enhanced talent in cultivating the Water Law after consuming the Peaches of Immortality, only accounted for a small part of the reason.

It's merely at the level of a favored child of the fundamental laws; for ordinary life forms, this level of talent in cultivating the laws is indeed quite high.

But for the twelve giant star beasts with peak bloodlines, isn't a cultivation talent at the level of a darling of the primordial laws a standard feature of their race?
Anyone who can breathe has a talent for cultivating the laws that is no less than this level!
Even the most powerful star beasts with the highest bloodlines generally cannot comprehend a domain at the planetary level.

Just like Luo Feng, who possessed the Golden Horned Beast in the original work, only comprehended the Golden Domain after advancing to the Universe level.

Because the Golden Horned Beast has strong talent and had time to comprehend its domain, it has most likely already cultivated to the cosmic level.

However, this proves that having the talent to cultivate laws at the level of a darling of the original laws is not necessarily related to whether one can possess a domain.

This is like being able to earn money, but that doesn't mean you have money in your hands.

Being born with the power of a domain is a privilege reserved for special life forms in the universe.

The main reason why Lu Jin was able to comprehend the Water Domain without realizing it is that the peaches of immortality enhanced his life gene level and talent for cultivating laws.

Because of the extremely mild effects of the peaches, his condition reached a state of perfect harmony in all aspects.

The key to a martial artist or mentalist comprehending a domain is not necessarily related to their talent for cultivating laws, nor is it necessarily related to the degree of physical exertion or the amplitude of mental power.

By achieving perfect harmony between one's mental power or primal force, will, and body, and allowing one's powers to merge, one can sublimate the power of a domain.

This is also the biggest reason why Hong, whose mind has reached the state of 'infinitely large and all-encompassing,' was able to comprehend the realm of light at the planetary level.

Lu Jin's fundamentals are indeed not very good, given his previous trajectory.

Without external assistance, let alone reaching the planetary level of comprehension, even reaching the stellar level would be virtually impossible.

But this is a world where opportunity outweighs effort. As long as you know how to spend money or cheat, you can take shortcuts in most things.

Therefore, no matter what it is, as long as taking a shortcut doesn't affect anything, then try to take the shortcut instead of choosing to be an honest person.
